Giants/Dbacks on in less that 30 minutes. Giants only one game behind the Pads. Pads are pooping out.

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.

Re: Greed??? (none / 0)

Yes, i'll watch tonight. Not often we get games that aren't live at 4AM. Pads are first 1st place team to lose 10 inaro since 1932 Pittsburgh. Still, it's up to the Jints to play some ball.

So is this greed?

I don't know what the hell it is. And what's up with all the words? Teaching 1st graders?

From of my film gurus in Sanfrandisco:

It's a cartoon using imagery from or inspired by British children's elementary-school reading primers to tell a cautionary tale about the consequences of greed.

No idea what it means, sorry. You need the more cinematic types to chime in.
